Morse's take on the contrasts between common video experiences and installation art is unique. She sits comfortably with the assumption that video installation art is more complex and subjective than is "regular" video, such as movies and television. She argues that it is the "space in-between" that sets installation art apart from other forms. Continually, she also points out that video installation art is interactive, "since the visitor chooses a trajectory among all the possibilities." Though this seems to be true of video installation art, the argument can be made that it is the simple interpretation of forms of art, such as installation art, that may set it apart. Movies and television can be interactive by impact and meaning, even if it isn't, in so many ways, physical. Though, what may set video installation art apart from other motion pictures is the use of raw material to create the work. It defines it more efficiently but more subjectively while adding meaning and possibilities of interpretation.
